The operator grew up in Bukchon, well before it became one of Seoul’s most popular neighborhoods. In February 2025, the operator launched the Bukchon Storytelling Tour with a mix of nerves and excitement. Since then, guests from all over the globe have joined, and their positive reviews and kind feedback have been incredibly fulfilling.

This walking tour delves into Bukchon, a neighborhood that was once the heart of Korean politics, economy, and culture from 1392 to the 1980s.
